How to stop kid from talking like a 50 year old?

It’s just so annoying—like, go outside, talk to a girl!
And the worst part? He’s conventionally attractive, so girls do want to talk to him. But he says things like, “They dress too much like streetwalkers.” Like—what?? How do I fix this? I always have to ask him, “Are you 50?” just to get him to shut up.

Lord sounds like he is being groomed by a Karen cat lady with blue hair.

Get him a GF stat and tell him to loosen up. Maybe a leather jacket to help his image.

There's a lot wrong with the misogyny just as there's a lot wrong with your son's misogyny and the fact that he's lecturing you. You and op both need to get your son's together.

Their sons have more sense than they do.

And you shut him down immediately, right? Because you're sticking up for his sister (your daughter!)? Holy moly. Have you talked to him about his incel tendencies? If my son were behaving like this, there would be consequences.

Wow, I’m coming back and see some of you posted some charged replies. I’m a woman and thinks she also dresses too revealing but understand it’s her personal choice. Come on people, how many of you are also posting on the crop top thread about how it’s inappropriate for 14 yo’s. I posted on that one too, saying they are fine. Calm down. There is actually nothing wrong with dressing more conservatively and covering up a bit. There is nothing wrong with showing some skin either.

We tell him he was born, ready for a retirement community and he will be able to parent his kids anyway he wants when he is grown and has them.

Don't worry. This will be short-lived. Eventually, a girl at school will put him in his place, hopefully with a punch to the face or a kick in the nuts.

IMO your son is probably not into girls based on the evidence provided. Most boys his age would certainly not take issue with girls dressed "like streetwalkers" as your son says, and the fact that your son does makes me suspect that he'd rather have boys dress that way. lol.

And your opinion is worth exactly nothing, so yay.

Well clearly this is coming from a kid because taking money away from public schools via vouchers certainly will not fix the problem. Tell him building more schools to decrease student population size is way more effective.

Maybe ask him check any judginess, such as the streetwalker example, but other than that your kid is who he is. Leave him alone.

If OP is not a troll, they have done a bad job raising their son..

total troll post. But I have an asd son who is VERY interested in politics and random "old people" topics though also minecraft and sex puns. So I don't buy the idea that ALL he wants to talk about is old man interests.

Agree the sexism is way more a problem than anything else if this was a real post, which it isn't
